Hello, and happy Sunday!
I'm still knitting away on my busy bee blanket-- I'm up to 77 puffs!
Here's one of my favorite little clusters.
I just made this strawberry puff yesterday-- The seeds are actually tiny seed beads. It's one of my favorites so far!
These striped puffs are the colorful single-ply left over from this yarn, navajo plied (3-plied with itself).
And here's the whole blanket so far!
It's about 19" by 22" at the moment, and I think I'm going to start joining the hexipuffs together when it's about three times as long and twice as wide. I still have a long way to go on it, especially since I'm not planning on knitting exclusively on the blanket for the entire time. But the process is just as fun as the finished blanket will be.
I hope you're having a wonderful day-- It's snowing here! Yay!

I'm so amazed at how quickly this blanket is growing. I also love the fun little detailed puffs that you throw in every once in a white, they make it even more beautiful. Do you plan them out or do they just happen?
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your sweet words! It is really flying-- I love knitting the puffs and tossing them into their bag! The embroidered puffs are duplicate stitched using charts on the Tiny Owl Knits Ravelry group, but I just do one when the urge strikes me. :)
DeleteI love your puffs! The colours go so well together! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! I love arranging the puffs and playing aroung with different color combinations.
DeleteThese look so amazing and you are totally to blame for the fact that I've had to buy the pattern!
ReplyDeleteEeeep, thank you! It is such a fun project-- you won't regret starting it, I'm sure! :)
DeleteOh my goodness it is looking amazing! I love the strawberry too and the stripey ones mixed in, a feast for the eyes!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Alice! You're making me blush! I'm getting antsy to start joining the hexipuffs together-- even though at the moment it would be less of a blanket and more of a large placemat size. :P
DeleteGorgeous puffs! I'm working on the blanket too so this post is very inspiring!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Kelsey! I'm so glad you commented, your blog is adorable-- as is your new kitty Boris! Yay!
